Nature’s Gentle Salicylate for Clearer-Looking Skin
White willow bark contains natural salicylates, making it the botanical companion of clarifying and acne-prone skin care. Our Willow Bark Glycerin Extract blends easily into toners, cleansers and scalp products.
The Botanical Behind Willow Bark
Salix alba, the white willow, is a large tree that grows along rivers and wetlands in Europe and Asia. Its bark contains salicin and related salicylates; willow bark preparations were historically used for aches, and the compound later inspired the development of synthetic salicylates.
Why Formulators Choose Willow Bark Glycerin Extract
